We are delighted to have completed the sale of Woodland Park, a large residential caravan park with significant development potential.

The park is located in the village of Waunarlwydd which is located approximately 3 miles north west of Swansea and at the head of the Gower peninsula on the coast of South Wales.

With 11.5 acres of land in total, there is currently 8.2 acres of developed land with 114 park homes on site and a further 3.3 acres of land that offers development potential, subject to the relevant consents.

Andrew Bagnell, agent on the park and holiday and caravan park specialist in our Devon office commented, “Woodland Park generated substantial interest amongst park operators, it is an immaculately presented park which produces just under £200,000 per year. On top of the established side to the business there is also excellent development potential and we look forward to seeing what the purchasers, Wyldecrest, do with the site.”

Holiday & Caravan Park 2019 Market Report

The UK economy has endured a further year of uncertainty largely centred around the ongoing Brexit negotiations.

A record breaking 2018 will be remembered as a year of two halves, certainly in terms of the weather – The ‘Beast from the East’ gave us a slow start keeping many holiday makers at home for much of the spring. It also proved a difficult period for caravan sales, reported by many operators to be weaker than anticipated. What a difference a couple of months can make – A record breaking summer, hotter than 1976, the year Edwards and Partners were established, helped to recover lost ground and has resulted in 2018 being another excellent year for the caravan park sector.

Lee Southan, agent on the park commented, “Winchelsea Beach is a desirable holiday destination that appeals to many as it’s often quieter than many of the more developed resorts along the surrounding stretches of the coast.

“We received significant interest in the sale of Smugglers End Caravan Park and were delighted to achieve a sale price of £450,000, £50,000 above the original asking price. The coastline on the South remains one of the most sought after holiday destinations and with the market remaining buoyant, parks don’t tend to stay on the market for very long!”
